Tickets for TheatreZone 2011-12 season on sale June 1

TheatreZone's 2011-12 Season 7 "Light the Lights" brings musicals with a story — the biting story of a commitment-phob and the moment-of-glory competition of a spelling bee — to the stage.

Season tickets are is as follows:

■ "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," 8 p.m. Dec. 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, and 2 and 7:30 p.m. Dec. 4 and 11. The tale is billed as a "musical comedy where losers can be winners. Six adolescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime in the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time."

■ "Little Women," 8 p.m. March 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, and 2 and 7:30 p.m. March 11 and 18. The family classic has become a musical based upon Louisa May Alcott's 1860 semi-autobiographical novel.

■ "The Boy Friend," 8 p.m. May 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, and 2 and 7:30 p.m. May 6 and 13. This musical closes the season with a tap-dancing romp set in the French Riviera in the Roaring '20s with catchy tunes "I Could Be Happy with You"), period dances (including the Charleston) and a winning comedy about the blossoming of an English heiress.
